Tom McLeish FRS was Professor Emeritus of Natural Philosophy at the University of York. Theoretical physicist and "penseur anglais" (Emmanuel Macron), McLeish is best known for his groundbreaking work in soft matter physics and polymers, rheology, history of science, and theology of science, and as a Reader in the Anglican Church. He was awarded the 2018 Archbishop of Canterbury's Lanfranc Award for Education and Scholarship and his scientific-theological legacy includes the Christian leadership in the sciences initiative, ECLAS (Equipping Christian Leadership in an Age of Science). Eclipse & Revelation is Tom McLeish's final project and scholarly testament.
